Question

Divide 468 of rice into three heaps containing the quantities in the ratio 1/6 : 1/8 : 1/12

Answer 1

let x be the common multiple
$\frac{x}{6} + \frac{x}{8} + \frac{x}{12} = 468$
multiply both the sides by 24
we get
$4x + 3x + 2x = 11232 \\ 9x = 11232 \\ x = \frac{11232}{9} \\ x = 1248$
the parts are 208,156,104.
hope this helps you:-))))

Answer 2

Answer:

let x be the common multiple

\frac{x}{6}  +  \frac{x}{8}  +  \frac{x}{12}  = 468

multiply both the sides by 24

we get

4x + 3x  + 2x = 11232 \\ 9x = 11232 \\ x =  \frac{11232}{9}  \\ x = 1248

the parts are 208,156,104.
